Excited to share that my first-ever first-author paper (w/ @atabk.bsky.social @AngeliqueDelarazan @zreagh.bsky.social) is now out in PNAS! Building a story to link two objects boosts associative memory and inference, but not memory for the objects themselves. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... 🧵

Very cool idea to view research studies as opportunities for science communication! A more thoughtful approach to debriefing and other aspects of research might help the public better understand how science works and why it is valuable. #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky doi.org/10.1037/xge0...

It felt really good to be out with so many others at the #Standupforscience2025 rally in DC today. So much energy in the crowd. Nothing like getting thousands of nerds together!
I'm standing by the reflecting pool. The Lincoln memorial is in the background and I'm holding a small sign that says "GTFO ELON." There's a large crowd visible a little ways behind me.

My kiddo came with me, too. When he heard that they were cutting money for science research, he decided to skip his class movie party at school today and come with me. He wouldn't let me paint the lab coat because he might need it someday if he wants to be a scientist. 💜 #Standupforscience2025

Caltech Stands Up For Science! #standupforscience2025 It was an inspiration to see so many people respond to the question "Why do you stand up for science?".
people gathered around tables holding a sign and filling out sticky notessmiling people holding signs "Science makes america great" and "Ideas not ignorance".four large sheets with the question "Why do you stand up for science?" They are covered in sticky notes with answers.
